Verdict: Z DANCER looks a solid choice. He can bounce back from a below-par effort when last seen and a good pace up front will help him. Narizon, Trigger Point and Charlicito are also respected.

My Baby Bullet

Jockey: Joam Toledo Trainer: Joshua Langley Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 468274

Comment: Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 12 and not the most consistent of horses lately; finished last of four over 6f at Thistledown (maiden claimer) two months ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so not hard to turn elsewhere.

Trigger Point

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 0-80213

Comment: Has found improvement of late; not beaten that far in third (7l) in an allowance race upped to 1m 49 days ago; should go close if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

After Sunrise

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Wilson Langley Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 4-3327

Comment: Beaten 35l (seventh) in an allowance race a week ago on first outing for new trainer upped to 1m; despite a poor last run, he had been running well previously but achieved only a sole win; first run on grass; this looks a fair heat so easy enough to take on.

Big Bad Diva

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 256345

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 6l, over 7f here (claimer) last Tuesday when just behind Save The Flag; one-time useful operator; claiming value now rises to $6.5k; may be involved as her rider is capable of making the most of a favourable draw and has shown she can be competitive fairly recently.

Comment: Winner of five starts (range of trips from 5½f to 1m½f); finished behind Diosa Catrina (Thistledown) when beaten 16l (fifth of six) last month in a claimer; higher claiming tag here so up in class; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as has a lot on her plate here.

Stratogale

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 123-71

Comment: Successful by just over 4l on first outing for new trainer last month in a claimer; successful twice in her last five starts; lightly raced for age; big player as despite being up in class she appears to be in good form and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Hyper Awakening

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fifth (sloppy track) last month in a claimer; a C&D winner; claiming tag now upped from $4k; this looks a fair heat so looks opposable.

Comment: Looks for her third career victory; came out on top by just over 2l in a claimer dropped back in distance last month; $6.5k claiming tag this time (up from $4k).

Comment: Was seventh of ten, beaten 14l, at Charles Town 12 days ago in a claimer; performed at a higher level than this in her peak and in good form prior to backwards step last time out; should get involved as has been on the scene in the recent past and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Comment: Split a number of these rivals dropped back in distance posting a respectable display to finish fourth last month in a maiden claimer; interesting if backing up last run.

Finn D'oro

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Ronney Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 427956

Comment: Tenth attempt to break his duck; out of the frame (beaten 8l in sixth) over 7f at Charles Town (maiden claimer) on debut for new trainer 46 days ago; should go well as shown he can be competitive fairly recently and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Striking Lad

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Christian Flores Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 34525-

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice and this is his level; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing fifth of eight at Thistledown a year ago in a maiden claimer; drops to a $4k tag; returns from a layoff; should not be far away as shown some ability on occasion.

Verdict: WINGED FOOT rates a strong recommendation. He has shown in the past that he is able to get the job done and will hope to avoid trouble in running, which possibly cost him last time, while South Street, Zero Gravity and Stavros also have claims.
